"He will remain as a member of the family of
the truly great drivers in auto racinghistory. Mr Enzo Ferrari, who is an
authority on these matters, has compared
Villeneuve to Tazio Nuvolari. Nuvolari in my
younger days was the great idol. All drivers
wanted to equal the great Nuvolari. They
struggled to match but could only imitate him.
To be compared to Nuvolari is to receive the
highest praise. Villeneuve did not race to
finish, he did not race for points. He raced
to win. Although small in stature he was a
giant."
